SBJ Michael Smith on SEC Network,'Behind the scenes there's a lot of activity to get a channel up and running by Aug 2014.'

Smith,'The SEC has some agreements set to expire in 2014... the SEC will then have a clear path to have all rights for all of their sports.'
Paul Finebaum @ finebaum
Smith,'We're not sure if the SEC will own all of the channel or have a partner. The model or details of the revenue split is unknown.'
Paul Finebaum @ finebaum
Smith,'The SEC has to make this move now... they see the revenue stream the B1G Network is projecting for the next ten yrs.'
Paul Finebaum @ finebaum
Smith,'The likely home for the SEC Network would be Charlotte. ESPN Regional tv is located there & the infrastructure is already in place.'
Paul Finebaum @ finebaum
Smith,'They (SEC) should have an easier time in distributing the channel than the other conference networks.'
